Anyone have any experience with either of these under Linux/SGI? In
trying to rebuild the am-utils package to support NIS maps, I keep
getting this situation -- happens each time I try it :-(
[...]

I'm building this from the SRPM, and I actually haven't done any
modifications to it yet -- it's just the am-utils-6.0a16-1.src.rpm from
ftp.linux.sgi.com. (built with 'rpm -bc am-utils.spec'). Oddly enough,
it doesn't appear that NIS support was detected in the am-utils
configure script (although the machine was bound to a domain at the
time). I won't spam the entire build log to the list, but I have it if
anyone has any leads on this and could benefit from it.
I don't know how related this is, but while ypmatch-type calls work OK,
ypcat generally returns errors like this:
green:~$ ypcat group
eegrad:*:4000:test
eeugrad:*:6000:
faculty:*:2000:
staff:*:10:azam,harper,marchany,sysacct,clepple
eestaff:*:3000:azam,harper,marchany,sysacct
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: Program not registered
[above repeats 3 to 5 times, then terminates with...]
No such map group.byname. Reason: RPC failure on NIS operation
Sorry to bug you all about this -- I know that NIS probably isn't high
on everyone's priority list...
Thanks in advance,
